What use to get us were things like "the dreaded transmission", or the AC, in which you just wind down the windows and hope that traffic starts to move.

We had a Mercury sable that lasted us 10 years +. It had a few problems, though nothing big, and we had financial problems. The transmission finally went out, but we are in a much better place. I am thankful for that car.
